I saw the photos earlier. Some rather interesting chawans there, though like almost all ceramics I think if I held them in person it would make or break my feelings about them. But they look interesting, and definitely great for someone so new to Chawans and Chanoyu.

The piece that I submitted for this show was specifically intended for Chanoyu, so the Ido-style Chawan included here is well suited for that somethat specialized usage, although it would of course work well for "home use" also. Most of my "teawares" are targeted to actual Chado useage rather than what might be called "teabowls about the concepts surrounding the teabowl".

You can see another of my chawan posted in the 2010 section of the website also. (Didn't submit to the 2011 competition ....busy year.)

This basically black and white Chawan below is one of the three that I have selected to send off to the invitational International Chawan Expo 2013 in Kaohsiung City in Taiwan running October 5th through October 20th, 2013. (The white and black glazing represents a new technique I am exploring.)
